A Fort Worth Night Bank Run Fort Worth is a breezy city of 175,000. Recently a bank failed. It was a rotten failure and the depositors may lose $1,500,000. Those responsible are said to have played Wall street and Wall street in return skinned and trimmed them. Two weeks later a run was started and the First National bank of Fort Worth was the object of attack. It is one of the strongest banks in the United States. That pestiferous scoundrel and mischief maker, Old Man Gossip, circulated poison that started the run. It continued two days. There was a night as well as day run. Bank officials were on the firing line. They paid out as fast as demands were made. They laughed at the frightened depositors. Gov. Lynn P. Talley of the federal reserve bank at Dallas was one of the speakers at the night frolic. He bluntly told all concerned that the First National was as sound and as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar and that if it needed any assistance the federal reserve bank was behind it and the limit was the sky. All the time the band was playing dance music and bank officials had waiters serving fat sandwiches and hot coffee. Director Wm. Thomas Waggoner made a short talk. Wm. Thomas is the richest of all Texans. His holdings have a value of $150,000,000. He is the owner of the $2,000,00 Arlington Downs race track and stables. He is a very short talker, but his huge fortune is a very loud talker. He has been a director of the bank for 50 years. He assured the excited mob regaling itself on fat sandwiches and hot coffee, that he personally pledged himself to pay every dollar of money on deposit and he quietly invited those who were in doubt "to do their damndest." Music hath charm to soothe the savage breast. Fat sandwiches and hot coffee worketh wonders. Wm. Thomas Waggoner, speaking for his $150,000,000 fortune, magnetized the midnight multitudes. It was all off. They slunk away. Now Dist. Atty. Robert A. Stuart is on the trail of Old Man Gossip and his poison distributors and threatens to put them behind the bars. There is a place for Old Man Gossip and his associate liars. Members of the tribe are found in every community. They should be tried and convicted and condemned to penal servitude "in the walls near the ancient city of Huntsville."
